In wait_task_stopped() exit_code already contains the right value for the
si_status member of siginfo, and this is simply set in the non WNOWAIT
case.
If you call waitid() with a stopped or traced process, you'll get the signal
in siginfo.si_status as expected -- however if you call waitid(WNOWAIT) at the
same time, you'll get the signal << 8 | 0x7f
Pass it unchanged to wait_noreap_copyout(); we would only need to shift it
and add 0x7f if we were returning it in the user status field and that
isn't used for any function that permits WNOWAIT.

The original meaning of the old test (p->state > TASK_STOPPED) was
"not dead", since it was before TASK_TRACED existed and before the
state/exit_state split. It was a wrong correction in commit
14bf01bb05 to make this test for
TASK_TRACED instead. It should have been changed when TASK_TRACED
was introducted and again when exit_state was introduced.

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.
The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

The pgrp field is not used widely around the kernel so it is now marked as
deprecated with appropriate comment.
The initialization of INIT_SIGNALS is trimmed because
a) they are set to 0 automatically;
b) gcc cannot properly initialize two anonymous (the second one
is the one with the session) unions. In this particular case
to make it compile we'd have to add some field initialized
right before the .pgrp.
This is the same patch as the 1ec320afdc one
(from Cedric), but for the pgrp field.
Some progress report:
We have to deprecate the pid, tgid, session and pgrp fields on struct
task_struct and struct signal_struct. The session and pgrp are already
deprecated. The tgid value is close to being such - the worst known usage
in in fs/locks.c and audit code. The pid field deprecation is mainly
blocked by numerous printk-s around the kernel that print the tsk->pid to
log.

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.
The idea is:
- all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
- when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
- when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
task's namespace the global one is to be used;
- when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

The first part is trivial - we just make the proc_flush_task() to operate on
arbitrary vfsmount with arbitrary ids and pass the pid and global proc_mnt to
it.
The other change is more tricky: I moved the proc_flush_task() call in
release_task() higher to address the following problem.
When flushing task from many proc trees we need to know the set of ids (not
just one pid) to find the dentries' names to flush. Thus we need to pass the
task's pid to proc_flush_task() as struct pid is the only object that can
provide all the pid numbers. But after __exit_signal() task has detached all
his pids and this information is lost.
This creates a tiny gap for proc_pid_lookup() to bring some dentries back to
tree and keep them in hash (since pids are still alive before __exit_signal())
till the next shrink, but since proc_flush_task() does not provide a 100%
guarantee that the dentries will be flushed, this is OK to do so.

Make task release its namespaces after it has reparented all his children to
child_reaper, but before it notifies its parent about its death.
The reason to release namespaces after reparenting is that when task exits it
may send a signal to its parent (SIGCHLD), but if the parent has already
exited its namespaces there will be no way to decide what pid to dever to him
- parent can be from different namespace.
The reason to release namespace before notifying the parent it that when task
sends a SIGCHLD to parent it can call wait() on this taks and release it. But
releasing the mnt namespace implies dropping of all the mounts in the mnt
namespace and NFS expects the task to have valid sighand pointer.
Thanks to Oleg for pointing out some races that can apear and helping with
patches and fixes.

A pid namespace is a "view" of a particular set of tasks on the system. They
work in a similar way to filesystem namespaces. A file (or a process) can be
accessed in multiple namespaces, but it may have a different name in each. In
a filesystem, this name might be /etc/passwd in one namespace, but
/chroot/etc/passwd in another.
For processes, a process may have pid 1234 in one namespace, but be pid 1 in
another. This allows new pid namespaces to have basically arbitrary pids, and
not have to worry about what pids exist in other namespaces. This is
essential for checkpoint/restart where a restarted process's pid might collide
with an existing process on the system's pid.
In this particular implementation, pid namespaces have a parent-child
relationship, just like processes. A process in a pid namespace may see all
of the processes in the same namespace, as well as all of the processes in all
of the namespaces which are children of its namespace. Processes may not,
however, see others which are in their parent's namespace, but not in their
own. The same goes for sibling namespaces.
The know issue to be solved in the nearest future is signal handling in the
namespace boundary. That is, currently the namespace's init is treated like
an ordinary task that can be killed from within an namespace. Ideally, the
signal handling by the namespace's init should have two sides: when signaling
the init from its namespace, the init should look like a real init task, i.e.
receive only those signals, that is explicitly wants to; when signaling the
init from one of the parent namespaces, init should look like an ordinary
task, i.e. receive any signal, only taking the general permissions into
account.
The pid namespace was developed by Pavel Emlyanov and Sukadev Bhattiprolu and
we eventually came to almost the same implementation, which differed in some
details. This set is based on Pavel's patches, but it includes comments and
patches that from Sukadev.
Many thanks to Oleg, who reviewed the patches, pointed out many BUGs and made
valuable advises on how to make this set cleaner.
This patch:
We have to call exit_task_namespaces() only after the exiting task has
reparented all his children and is sure that no other threads will reparent
theirs for it. Why this is needed is explained in appropriate patch. This
one only reworks the forget_original_parent() so that after calling this a
task cannot be/become parent of any other task.
We check PF_EXITING instead of ->exit_state while choosing the new parent.
Note that tasklits_lock acts as a barrier, everyone who takes tasklist after
us (when forget_original_parent() drops it) must see PF_EXITING.
The other changes are just cleanups. They just move some code from
exit_notify to forget_original_parent(). It is a bit silly to declare
ptrace_dead in exit_notify(), take tasklist, pass ptrace_dead to
forget_original_parent(), unlock-lock-unlock tasklist, and then use
ptrace_dead.

When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock
the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists. This is
slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases.
E.g. Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for
review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it
has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is
impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock.
On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing
the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we
can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above.
The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed
like this:
rcu_read_lock();
nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk);
if (nsproxy != NULL) {
/ *
* work with the namespaces here
* e.g. get the reference on one of them
* /
} / *
* NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is
* almost dead (zombie)
* /
rcu_read_unlock();
This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and,
of course, tested.

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().
A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
Changelog:
2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
and remove dependence on the task_pid().
2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
bug rather than force a kernel panic.

The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.
The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
the common prefix of the same name.
For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

Two threads, T1 and T2. T2 ptraces P, and P is not a child of ptracer's
thread group. P exits and goes to TASK_ZOMBIE.
T1 does wait_task_zombie(P):
P->exit_state = TASK_DEAD;
...
read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
T2 does exit(), takes tasklist,
forget_original_parent() does
__ptrace_unlink(P) but doesn't
call do_notify_parent(P) because
p->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD.
Now, P is not visible to our process: __ptrace_unlink() removed it from
->children. We should send notification to P->parent and release P if and
only if SIGCHLD is ignored.
And we have 3 bugs:
1. P->parent does do_wait() and gets -ECHILD (P is on ->parent->children,
but its state is TASK_DEAD).
2. // wait_task_zombie() continues
if (put_user(...)) {
// TODO: is this safe?
p->exit_state = EXIT_ZOMBIE;
return;
}
we return without notification/release, task_struct leaked.
Solution: ignore -EFAULT and proceed. It is an application's bug if
we can't fill infop/stat_addr (in case of VM_FAULT_OOM we have much
more problems).
3. // wait_task_zombie() continues
if (p->real_parent != p->parent) {
// Not taken, it was untraced'ed
...
}
release_task(p);
we released the task which we shouldn't.
Solution: check ->real_parent != ->parent before, under tasklist_lock,
but use ptrace_unlink() instead of __ptrace_unlink() to check ->ptrace.
This patch hopefully solves 2 and 3, the 1st bug will be fixed later, we need
some cleanups in forget_original_parent/reparent_thread.
However, the first race is very unlikely and not critical, so I hope it makes
sense to fix 1 and 2 for now.
4. Small cleanup: don't "restore" EXIT_ZOMBIE unless we know we are not going
to realease the child.
